No sensible man should or ever docs get angry
because a man duns him for money. A dun Nis
not an impeachment of subscrilxr's integrity, ,but
is simply the outpotiriDg of a publisher's neces
sities. For if 1,000 men owe from $1 to flO
each, he has to dun them in order to pay ex
pense. Instead of getting angry and stopping
the pajHT because the publisher asks for what is
due him he eIiouM thank the editor for waiting
waiting patiently, and pay up like a man.

A deeisie slump in freight trafli on the Mid
dle division of the Pennsylvania railroad has
resulted in orders being isued for the rcduetu n
of the working force to a considerable extent.
Five entire crews have already been taken oil.
Of these .three were from the Altoona end of
the division and the remaining two from the
other. The reduction of force- has necessitated
a general changing about cf the other crews.
In some sections of Texas cotton-growing is
being abandoned because of the boll weevil pest,
and the laud is being turned to other crops,
while in some eases Texas cotton growers are
moving to Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
where the boll weevil has not vet reached.
The Jury Wheel
The event" of last week's court io conection
with i he irv wheel in causing considerable com
ment' In order that tne matter may be thor
ouhkflv iimleisiiMid, we will endeavor to explain.
The election laws provide for two jury com
missioners each political party to have one com
missioner. Beyond their election by the various
parties, politics shall have nothing to do with
them or with their duties In fact the law
wants the jury wheel absolutely free from politics
and It says that ouly one name shall be deposited
at a time and by each jury connniWsioner alter
nately. This shows that the Democratic Com
missioner must put in as many names as the re
publican commissioner.
While this is true, it is not supposed that the
republican Jury Commissioner puts in names
only of republicans nor the Cemocratic Jury
Commissioner the nanus only of democrats. In
fact, neither jury commissioner is sup)oscd to
put in the names of any one simply In'cause they
are demoerates or republicans. The law wants
the jury system exempted fVoni polities and the
names put into the Iwx shall be those of good
reliable eitiens, no matter what their politics is
If each jury conn.ioiior puts in the nmnes
only of members of their own political party, it
will be seen that in Snyder County the demo
crats have a decided advantage, because there
are less of the latter and their name) would get
into the Ikix ofteiierjtlian those of republicans.
The law was explained by 'Judge MeClure
last week. The jury is to be selected not be
cause of their political aflilialioi.s, but because
of their eminent fitness to serve as competent
Judges involving the rights of men in the courts
of justice.
We trust the Jury Commissioners will give
tha courts a clean Jury freejfrom politics.

Take Millions to Repair Damages.
Easton, Pa., Oct. 12. The Drdawiu-e
river has begun to recede. It Is Im
possible to estimate the loss or evwn
approximate It, but In Eantoa and
towns up and down the courso ot the
Delaware It will take millions of dol
lars to replace the bridges and repair
other damage. Only one bridge from
the headwaters of the Delaware to
Uaston is standing, and that Is an old
covered structure at Portland.
The Belvidere and Dolaware divi
sion f the Pennsylvania railroad in
closed, and trains are stalled here.
Hlg washouts occurred up and down
the road. The North Delaware river
highway te damaged to the extent of
$20,000.
Hundreds Homeless at Scranton.
Scranton, Pa., Oct 12 . Property
valued at almost $1,000,000 was de
stroyed and hundreds of families wero
rendered homeless as a result of the
Hood which visited this section. The
waters in some quarttrs are still ris
ing, and the enttr pollcs and fire de
partments are engaged In rescuing the
terror-stricken people. Traffic on the
railroads is at a standstill, and it Is
an utter impossibility to roach New
York from this city. The damage Is
due to tlie washing away of railroad
tracks and of bridges and the flooding
of cellars u of mines. Tbe Dela
ware and Hudson railroad Is the heav
iest sufferer in this respect.
